NYC’s Nanny State dictator has restricted trans fats, sodium, soda, cigarettes, earbuds, baby formula, firearms, Styrofoam, et cetera, ad nauseam as part of his authoritarian campaign to make New Yorkers healthier by micromanaging every conceivable aspect of their existences. Now it’s escalators:

Mr. Bloomberg said on Wednesday that he had issued an executive order requiring city agencies to promote the use of stairways and use smart [i.e., moonbatty] design strategies for all new construction and major renovations. Mr. Bloomberg has also proposed two bills that would increase visibility and access to at least one staircase in all new buildings around the city. This would include putting up signs on the walls, especially near elevators, with one central injunction: take the stairs.

“I’m not here to tell you how to live,” Mr. Bloomberg said at a news conference…

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

Don’t expect the situation to improve when New Yorkers dig even further beneath the bottom of the barrel to elect the lying degenerate Anthony Weiner to replace him.

We should give up cars and go back to the horse and buggy. Phones are too high tech let’s bring back the telegraph. Cars are harmful to unicorns we should ride on the first wookie’s walking buses. Lunch was too tasty we need some cale and sprouts from the first people’s collective equality of results garden.
